relative taglib uri

["Smith, Ryan" <rs...@station.sony.com>]

I have created a tag handler extending TagSupport, compiled it into a jar
and deployed that jar on my Dynamo server.  I hav also created a taglib.tld
file and placed that on my server.  I have also created a jsp page which has
the following line in it: 
<%@ taglib uri="http://my.server.com/common/taglibs/taglib.tld" prefix="tlt"
%>

This works perfectly. NO problem.  However, our network is configured in
such a way that multiple servers are behind a physical load balancer, and I
am unable to reference the absolute uri from a server which lives behind the
same load balancer as the server on which the taglib.tld file lives. (trust
me on this one).

What I would like to do is reference the taglib.tld with a relative uri such
as "/common/taglibs/taglib.tld".  I know this would work, if I could get it
to, but there seems to be now way to do this without creating a WEB-INF file
and packaging all my pages into one war file which defines the absolute
taglib uri.  I don't want to war things up, is there some other way????


Thank you so much for taking the time to read this.  Any help would be
appreciated.

Subject: Another request for struts on orion


I am also having a problem running struts on Orion.

I followed the instructions and noticed that the directions to install the
sample application on Orion (as written) would not work. First it only
mentions copying one xml file not action.xml (it mentions
struts_config.xsl). Then it asks you to point the config setting to
action.xml without copying it to the web application root. The directions
seem to be missing some steps.

I tried to improvise and tried to copy all xml (and tag definition files)
files from WEB-INF to the web app root of the sample, but I am running out
of ideas. I realize that Orion is popular and someone has this running
somewhere. And I also realize that this question has been asked for....

Where is a good place to search for the answers to this question?
Is there a way to search this mail archive?

(BTW I did get struts to work on weblogic 5.1)

Hello,
	Does anyone have the strut examples working with orionserver 1.4.5
or later.  If not, does anyone know where I can find more information on how
to get this to work.  I have implemented the extra procedures required to
set up strut with orion.


Thanks,
Shawn Stephens

I get this error when I try to run the app:
